In response to the Ebola outbreak, Marriott International is reinforcing its existing global protocols for addressing infectious diseases. Our business continuity plans encompass preparedness for public health emergencies, and our operational protocols include raising awareness and responsibly responding to threats of Ebola. These protocols have been shared with our hotels globally.

We are encouraging all employees working at Marriott International managed hotels, our franchisees, and our guests to get more information on the disease by going to the World Health Organization Ebola information page (http://www.who.int/csr/disease/ebola/faq-ebola/en/) or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Ebola information page (http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/). Marriott is being vigilant and monitoring new information as it becomes available. As always, the safety and security of guests and associates is a top priority at Marriott International.
